AUBURN - The Auburn Tigers held a full-contact practice late Tuesday afternoon at the Auburn Athletics Complex Practice Fields, continuing preparations for Saturday's SEC opener at Mississippi State. That contest, with an 11 a.m. CT kickoff, will be televised by ESPN. "This is a great conference opener. We're really looking forward to obviously a very tough game in Starkville against a Mississippi State football team that's very, very good," said Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. "They have seven returning starters on defense, with guys with a lot of experience; a very experienced offensive line; a great host of receivers and tailbacks; and very talented guys in the return game. It's going to be a very physical game in Starkville, and we're looking forward to a great challenge."
